gemusterter

Gemusterter is a German attributive adjective meaning “patterned” or “with a pattern.” It describes surfaces, textiles, clothing, wallpapers or other items that display a recurring design or motif, such as stripes, checks, florals or abstract patterns. The base is the noun Muster (pattern, motif) combined with the participial adjective gemustert, which takes different endings according to gender, number and case.

In practical use, gemusterter describes the noun it accompanies. For example: ein gemusterter Stoff (a patterned fabric), ein gemusterter Mantel (a patterned coat). After a definite article, the form is der gemusterte Stoff; with an indefinite article, ein gemusterter Stoff; without an article or in strong declension, gemusterter Stoff. The feminine form is gemusterte Bluse (ein gemusterte Bluse is incorrect; the correct indefinite form is eine gemusterte Bluse), the neuter form is das gemusterte Muster, and the plural is die gemusterten Muster or die gemusterten Stoffe, depending on the noun being described. The word can also function as a predicate adjective: Der Stoff ist gemustert.

Semantic nuance and context: gemusterter highlights the presence of a visible pattern, distinguishing from unifarben (solid color) textiles or surfaces. It is common in fashion, interior design, textile merchandising and product descriptions. While many specific patterns have individual names (for example Hahnentritt, Karomuster), gemusterter serves as a general descriptor applicable to any pattern-bearing item.
